Potato irrigation scheduling and straw mulching
South African Journal of Plant and Soil, 1984The effect of mulching and irrigation frequency on tuber yield was investigated during three seasons at the Glen Agricultural Research Institute The soil on the experimental site consisted of a loamy sand topsoil and sandy clay subsoil with 94 mm total available water in the top 775 mm of the soil profile.

Okra production with pine straw mulch
Agroforestry Systems, 1994Conventional planted okra in Booneville, Arkansas and Lorman, Mississippi were mulched with loblolly pine straw (Pinus taeda L.) and longleaf pine straw (P. palustris Mill.), respectively, at a rate of 11 t/ha or left bare. At Booneville, plant stand, season yields (18.6 t/ha), pod weight (16.3 g), plant dry weight (2.3 kg), or stem diameter (3.5 cm ...

Recycling rice straw by composting, incorporating and mulching
Conservation & Recycling, 1984Abstract Rice straw is rich in nitrogen, potassium, carbon and silicon. It is, however, seldom put to agronomic use by farmers in Sri Lanka, mainly owing to lack of awareness of the quantity of plant nutrients present and lack of simple and inexpensive methods of recycling.

Environment-friendly mulch mats from paddy straw
International Journal of Farm Sciences, 2020Mulch is commonly used for weed control in crop cultivation. The non-degradable mulch mats are environmentally unfriendly, toxic and expensive. Potentially it is urgent to come up with alternative organic materials from the accessible surrounding environment to be made for organic mulch for the farming field with simple technology.

The Effect of Straw Mulch on Simulated Simazine Leaching and Runoff
Weed Science, 2011In the Midwestern United States, winter hilling, consisting of two tillage activities per year, is required in vinifera-grape vineyards for winter protection. However, this practice often leads to severe soil erosion and pesticide offsite movement. The effectiveness of wheat straw mulch as a replacement for soil mounding was investigated as a way of ...

Microbiological Studies of the Effect of Straw Used as a Mulch
Transactions of the Kansas Academy of Science (1903-), 1943Microbiological Studies of the Effect of Straw Used as a Mulch, T. M. McCALLA2, U.S. Department of Argiculture and College of Agriculture, Lincoln, Nebraska Converting the land of the virgin forest and prairie to the production of cultivated crops has permitted the ravages of soil erosion by wind and water to deplete the fertility of many American ...

Sugarcane response to irrigation and straw mulch in a subtropical region
Agricultural Water Management, 1980Abstract In Northern India, insufficient soil moisture and excessively high soil temperatures are reported to restrict growth of crops during the hot, dry months of April–June. A 3-year field experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of three irrigation schedules based on ratios of 0.50, 0.75 and 1.00 times pan evaporation, and two levels of ...

The Influence of Straw Mulch on the Soil Reception and Persistence of Metribuzin
Weed Science, 1982The presence of a straw mulch on the soil surface did not significantly affect the persistence of metribuzin [4-amino-6-tert-butyl-3-(methylthio)-as-triazin-5 (4H)-one] in the soil. The half-life of metribuzin was 5.3 days in 1979 and 12.5 days in 1980 in the field when the time the herbicide was exposed on the soil and straw surface prior to rainfall ...

The Fate of Oryzalin Applied to Straw-mulched and Nonmulched Soils
Weed Science, 1984Field experiments to compare the loss of oryzalin (3,5-dinitro-N4,N4-dipropylsulfanilamide) from straw-mulched and nonmulched soils indicated that oryzalin disappeared more rapidly in soils covered by straw in 1980 and 1981 but not in 1982. It appeared that greater rainfall in 1982 was responsible for this difference.

Seasonal Establishment of Bermudagrass Using Plastic and Straw Mulches
Agronomy Journal, 1988AbstractBermudagrass [Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers.] is normally established vegetatively during the early summer in the transition zone, to allow sufficient establishment time before the onset of freezing conditions in the fall. Clear polyethylene covers and straw mulches muse changes in the turfgrass microenvironment that may influence the rate of ...
